Excerpt from Bachelors' Buttons: The Candid Confessions of a Shy Bachelor

I suppose I must not complain that everybody takes it for granted, first that an Old fogy like myself can have no real need Of money, secondly that he will not have the vaguest idea how to get any enjoyment out of his unexpected fortune.

And yet, like every man born of woman, I have had my dreams, though I have not chosen to speak of them. Does one speak of the things lying deepest and near est? I suppose my answer does sound rather idiotic.

Even with men my speech is halting, and to women I dare not speak at all.
